background and aims. occlusal rims are used to determine the jaw relationships in the transverse and vertical dimensions and estimate the inter-occlusal distance in edentulous patients. it is important to find ways to determine the height and shape of the occlusal rims correctly. the aim of the present study was to determine the exact distance between the oral cavity floor and the incisal edges...

to effectively design daylight in buildings, daylight availability data are necessary. although there is a great potential for daylight energy in iran, its use has been hampered by the absence of measured data. in this paper the illuminance data on the vertical south facing surfaces of tehran were estimated using the iesna model. for this propose an illuminance measuring set was used in order t...

G. J. Foschini and M. J. Gan have been shown that the use of multiple antennas in both transmitter and receiver, called multiple input multiple output system (MIMO), linearly increases the channel capacity with the number of antennas [1]. The channel model in [2] is based on the angle of arrival (AOA). This model, however, does allow including the radiation pattern into the capacity calculation...

This paper presents the result of the TRECVID 2017 AVS task by kobe nict siegen team. Consisting of three research institutes Kobe University, NICT and University of Siegen. We submitted the following three runs. 1) kobe nict siegen D M 1: This run uses feature vectors extracted by a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) as input for a small-scale multi-layer neural network called micr...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of vertical prism induced stress on binocular visual evoked potentials. methods: using checkerboard stimulus patterns in two spatial frequencies (sfs) of 0.48 cpd as a low sf and 2.18 cpd as a moderate sf reversing with temporal frequency of 4 hz, the effect of increasing visual stress using vertical prisms of 0, 1, 2 and 3 prism diopters on binocular visual evok...

As much as vertical transmission of microbial symbionts requires their deep integration into the host reproductive and developmental biology, symbiotic lifestyle might profoundly affect bacterial growth and proliferation. This review describes the reproductive oddities displayed by bacteria associated - more or less intimately - with multicellular eukaryotes.

Objective: The purpose of this in vitro study is that NiTi esthetic arch wires are preferred to match estheticbraces; but the presence coating layer greatly affect friction during sliding mechanics.The aims were evaluate load deflection and influence surface roughness with thecoating material types on frictional force coated nickel titanium wires.Method: sample consisted 90 segments uncoated Ni...

Vertical convection (VC) under the action of vertical vibration in a square cavity has been investigated using direct numerical simulation. The simulations are conducted with Prandtl number Pr fixed at 4.38 and Rayleigh Ra ranging from [Formula: see text] to text]. To examine influence vibration, dimensionless frequency is varied range small amplitude First, for low frequency, trivial results o...
